one girl's treasure...

i found this great industrial salvage lamp at a flea market a few weeks ago. it's from an old jar factory. i love the color and its charming lines, but it's just going to be too much work for me to repair in the confines of my studio apartment. I'm putting in on craigslist, but if anyone's interested, please let me know.

she's from a simpler time when men wore hats and women were dames, and dames didn't take no flak from no one. this lamp set the scene for Gill when he went to cook the books down at the plant one Friday night, but captain faherty was there waiting for him when he got out, and Daisy was waiting in the car, face half-lit, taking drags off a long cigarette watching it all go down. yeah, this lamp has seen some things, all right...
